No meat from Butcher Box will ever have added hormones or antibiotics. (Note: Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in pork and the use of hormones or steroids in poultry.)

How ButcherBox Works

When you first sign up with ButcherBox, you can choose what kind of box you'd like for them to send. We've tried out a few different boxes in order to get a good feel for the type and quality of meat they offer.

You can choose between five different types of boxes:

A custom box - 9-14 lbs, $4.97 per meal ($149 per month)
A mixed box (includes chicken, pork, and beef) - 8.5-11 lbs, $5.38 per meal ($129 per month)
A beef and pork box - 8-11 lbs, $5.38 per meal ($129 per month)
A beef and chicken box - 8.5-11 lbs, $5.38 per meal ($129 per month)
An all beef box - 8-10 lbs, $5.38 per meal ($129 per month)

We recommend doing a custom box because it allows you to customize the meat that they send and you are able to get exactly what you know you will use.

Once you choose which box you'd like, then you pick your monthly box size. You can choose between a Classic Box ($128-$149/month) or a Big Box ($238-270/month). The price varies depending upon which type of meat box you chose.

After you've chosen your box size, then you can customize exactly what they will send you. It's great that you can see exactly what your options are and you can figure out how to get the best bang for your buck!

Then, just input your payment information and you're done. (Psst! You might wait a bit on the payment page, because an offer should pop up to add free bacon to your box if you do!)

Enjoy your meal!

ButcherBox Benefits

Why like ButcherBox

Convenience

The box arrives with all of the meat frozen on dry ice. You don't have to go to the store, or look out for sales to get the best prices…they deliver it right to you, and all you have to do is put it right into the freezer.

Cost Effective

We'll go over this in detail a little bit later on, but I went to 4 different grocery stores reviewed prices at the meat department to see if ButcherBox's prices held up to theirs. (Spoiler Alert: They do!)

Taste

The taste of ButcherBox's steaks are unparalleled. Seriously, they are restaurant quality.

Quality

You're getting grass fed, free range, heritage breed pork.. It is the best quality meat you can be finding!

Negatives of ButcherBox

Packaging

I try to live as zero waste as possible, so I don't love all the cardboard that gets wasted. Thankfully it is recyclable, but I still wish there was a better way!

Who is ButcherBox good for?

ButcherBox is great for people who:

Love convenience – There's nothing better than showing up and having your meat already waiting for you.. between this and Thrive Market, there's no grocery store necessary most weeks!
Care about the quality of meat - The ButcherBox meat is seriously the best quality. We really value quality when it comes to our food and we think anyone concerned about the quality of meat – this is great for you!
Want great quality meat are the ideal subscribers for ButcherBox. Your freezer will always be stocked with awesome quality without you ever having to think about it!

ButcherBox is not for people who:

Can get quality meat locally – If you have a local farm/butcher that is able to give you good quality meat at a good price – you're lucky! We don't have that option unfortunately
Have a tight budget – We know what it's like to be on a tight budget, and honestly – there is a time when you cannot choose to spend an extra $$ on quality meat. Do the best you can to eat well, and if that doesn't include the best quality meat – don't feel bad!

The Bottom Line

Is Butcher Box Worth It?

Personally, we think ButcherBox is totally worth the price. Between the convenience, amazing quality, and fair price – it seems like a no brainer to us!
